Hi everyone,

I’m running into an issue with QuickBooks where it has suddenly stopped calculating payroll taxes for my employees. Everything was working fine until recently, and now when I process payroll, the tax amounts aren’t being calculated automatically.

If QuickBooks has stopped calculating employee payroll taxes, try these solutions:

1. Update QuickBooks: Ensure you're using the latest version. Updates often fix bugs and issues.
2. Verify Payroll Settings: Check that tax rates and settings are correct. Go to "Employees" > "Payroll Center" > "Payroll Settings" to review tax tables and state/local tax information.
3. Rebuild Data: Use the "Rebuild Data" tool to fix any data corruption issues. Go to "File" > "Utilities" > "Rebuild Data."
4. Check Employee Info: Ensure employee details like tax withholding and exemptions are accurate.
5. Review Tax Tables: Confirm that tax tables are up-to-date. Go to "Employees" > "Get Payroll Updates."
